24:24 fun fact, if you do that barrel section as fast as possible, meaning you shoot to the next barrel the first chance you get with each barrel, there’s a 3up balloon waiting for you at the end. Discovered it by accident like a decade ago, YEARS after playing it for the first time in ‘94. Blew my mind that the game still had secrets for me to discover 🤯🦍🍌
The Kremling cart at the end of Minecart Carnage is a bit annoying, but the biggest troll enemy in the game is definitely the jumping Kroc at the end of Loopy Lights. That one always ticked me off. Especially since Loopy Lights as a level is way harder than Minecart Carnage.
Probably agree, Fear Factory is likely my favorite but Aquatic Ambience is making it really tough. The number of remixes those two tracks have is a testament to their quality
my favorite stage was always and it will probably always be Platform Perils, it's really fun jumping from platform to platform and the Gray Krusha is a highlight
Ya wasn’t till DKC2 that they laid down the formula of an archetype appearing twice in a world and then once more in a later world. It’s a shame Kuz there’s gorgeous archetypes like the crystal ice cavern in DKC1 that only get used once.
Oooh DKC3 appreciator! I’m still not sure whether I prefer 1 or 3, both are great, obviously 2 is my favorite I know a lot of people don’t like Winky for his odd hit box and controls, but I like your unique perspective on him! Very fun video and well made
You fight the King on a ship because he’s not native to the island, so he would need a big fancy ship to have come to invade Donkey Kona’s island. That ship is as close to being his “home turf” as would be possible (until the second game at least…).
Fun video! I do agree and feel the level theme balance is a bit awkward, and I routinely forget Chimp Caverns exists. So many cave levels... I know DKC3 has an equal number of every time each theme appears which I appreciate a lot, so they never really overstay their welcome. Does that make sense? I'd love to hear your feelings on DKC2!
Winky was changed for Rattly because the latter's hitbox is much clearer for precise platforming. His design is more appealing, but less imaginative than Rattly, in my opinion.
Disagree most with your take on the industrial world, as I really like the gimmicks in the factory levels. On the other hand, yes, Chimp Caverns is a step down in atmosphere and fun, and I too wish there were fewer cave levels in favor of more jungles or forests.
DKC 1 had always been my favourite of the trilogy, up until I played the original SNES version on NSO, turns out that the GBA version that I played all my life fixed a lot of problems with the gameplay, added a whole lot of substantial contnent and quality of life upgrades (like removing the seizures) and even improved the soundtrack as a whole in spite of the GBA's inferior sound chip, with the only real downgrade being the graphics In contrast, DKC 2 and 3 still hold up amazingly in comparison to their GBA counterparts, and DKC2 in particular might be best overall in SNES I still hold the opinion of DKC1 being the best of the trilogy but now exclusively on GBA, as it irons out almost every flaw of the SNES version to create an almost flawless experience, while DKC2 and 3 were already almost flawless from the get go
@@Man-A-T thank you. My kid bro was playing it the other day and it got stuck in my head. Can't be having a song stuck in my head that I don't know. Lol Love the video, btw
FINALLY. Somebody FINALLY admits that DKC1 is the worst of the original 3. Its movement is just too stiff imo, so I’ve never seen the hype for the first one. Obviously, I’ve beaten it, but u have to say, I loved the levels and movement more in 2 and 3.
This is the kind of long-form monkey content i need in my life

Fear Factory is the best stage theme in DKC, even if the actual stages aren't great. Stressful beats to lose your cool to.

I like Stop n go Station’s ominous music
I can't believe how rare some of the themes are
Booooooooo

@@the.bloodless.one1312 I think it's nice how much more special that makes the ice cave level feel though
How the hell do you only have 200 subs and 200 views on this video. The production quality is outstanding

this is peak, excited for the sequels rankings

@@sammorin254 tbh I just think rattlys buck teeth look kind of dumb. I know they're meant to be fangs but

In contrast, DKC 2 and 3 still hold up amazingly in comparison to their GBA counterparts, and DKC2 in particular might be best overall in SNES

The algorithm brought me here, and the opening alone was worth the click!
This was my very first video game ever, and I’m absolutely floored realizing there’s only one crystal cave level, what the hell
I expected at least one robot in the factory levels and a castle in the king level
What was the song used to introduce number 30?
BattleBlock Theater - Secret Area

31:24 dk64☻
2:48 I don’t think that is a level from the original game
Lol crystal cave made me throw up
no dkcr no dkctf nothin???
Argh. I hate using Winky. His controls are bad. I always have an easier time in a level when I DON'T use him.
